Teaching My Kid to Socialize

Having a 1st grader is not all about school and no play at all. It is also important to have a well-balanced life even for a kid who’s 6 years of age.

I make it a point that my daughter still enjoys playing and having time to socialize with her classmates and friends.

When she was a little younger, she used to be so shy. She usually got nervous when surrounded with a lot of people. She’s usually shy when performing on stage. Most of the time, she wasn’t able to perform at all due to this shyness. But that was 3 years ago. When she was still in Nursery Level.

Last weekend, it was her classmate’s 7th birthday party and she was invited along with some of their classmates. I was hesitant at first in allowing her to attend. First, because I have some unfinished work that day. Second, because I am not sure if I’ll be able to accompany her or not.

But then I decided to allow her to join the party and to accompany her too.

Every laughing moment of my daughter was so precious for me.

Good thing I decided to let her go. She gets to socialize with her classmates and friends.

And honestly, I also enjoyed the party along with other moms that accompanied their kids at the party. :)

A happy, fun-filled bonding time with my daughter is not a wasted time at all!

About the Author

A full time government employee, part-time business woman a radical, traditional, trying-to-be-a-cool-mom on the side, I always find ways to fight boredom when the kids aren't around. Writing blogs, creating journals or editing photos are just my ways of making myself efficient. But there are times that I wanted to go out, watch a movie with my daughters, read books or even just listen to some pretty old songs, to just simply enjoy life.

I've been writing blogs/journals for more than 15 years. This site is just the by-product of such hobby. I am enjoying this much now that I am a mother of two (2) equally beautiful and smart girls. I always have some story to tell about them.
